leaves of winter's hoarding his frame lay motionless, in utter

radiance to the gloomy and rather monotonous room. She is there, I have
suspected, because she represents a world he would have liked to
live in, a world of free spirit and intellect, of romance, charm and
beauty. Delia Austrian's new biography, Juliette Recamier makes you feel
